They come as a set to the best of my knowledge.
There is a place out there that sells them for $12!
Straight from Buell.....$12

we're not that uptight here...this is a board that helps buell riders.
so as long as it's not just and add, but has it's purpose, the link can be added.

 

[rah7777777]

and looking at it, they raised the price to $17.50.
which is still a damn good deal!!!

Maybe somebody that has pull on this forum (BuellXB/LeFox) could post and sticky the fact that as long as it's not just a spammy ad, links to other forums/buell sites won't be deleted...

Go Ceramic bearings mate.

Youll be looking at around 200 for the set front and rear, but trust me there worth it [up]

rah, these are just the updated ones you get at the dealers...although, the are more than half the price

 

[rah7777777]

They are the newer orange seal bearings from NTN.
Installed a set in my bike about 5 months back and have a couple others sets on hand as extras.

They might not be the best in the world, but they are among the top picks for standard bearings. And at that price its a good deal to me.

I figure i'll just change them out every 2nd or 3rd tire change and call it a day ( well assuming they don't have any problems come up in the meantime )

But if you got the $$$$ I would say buy the ceramic, as I have heard they are very nice!

 

[firechickenXB9R]

First of Thanks for all the input.

Ok looked at Ceramic but they were $370. for the set.
Ok so the Orange bearings are the upgraded ones?

Am I reading that right and it is $17.95 for all four bearing?

Thanks for all the help.

 

[rah7777777]

all 4 are included in the $17.
I bought two boxes, thinking one was for fronts and one was rears and ended up with 2 complete sets!


$370!!!!!! YIKES!!!

 

[firechickenXB9R]

Yike is what I said!!!!

I am going to try an order those today. That is half the price of ONE bearing from the dealer here.

Great find for all Buellers Thanks
